Shipping: UPS Ground vs. FedEx Ground
Chuck Harris wrote:
Of course, UPS only asked for the bandwidth. It was the FCC and congress that gave them what they asked for. What UPS wanted to do was perfectly valid, and a good idea too. If there is any blame to pass out, it rightfully belongs to the FCC and congress. This is true. It's easier to boycott UPS than the FCC and congress, though. Is there anyone who hasn't ultimately benefited from the ability to track their packages? UPS forged the way, but all shippers now provide the capability. It just happened that the existing cell phone infrastructure was a more practical way of providing the tracking service than was building an entirely new infrastructure on 220MHz... something that, in hindsight, the FCC should have realized. Also true. However, I have many more unkind things to say about the spectrum management folks at the FCC. And the enforcement guys all seem to be doing nothing other than busting FM pirates and breast-showing broadcasters, while badly-maintained cable TV networks across the country spew trash all over the VHF bands and touch lamps that blatantly violate Part 15 are available at every Wal-Mart. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
